What's Happening in Pompano Beach This Weekend, October 30

Friday night: Boots and Ghouls line dancing at the E. Pat Larkins Center

The city opens Halloween weekend with the Boots and Ghouls Line Dancing Halloween Party, Friday, October 30 from 6:00 to 9:00 PM at the E. Pat Larkins Center, 520 Dr. MLK Jr. Boulevard. It is a Halloween line-dancing party with an R&B, hip-hop, and gospel playlist, open to ages 18 and up, with tickets at $10 in advance or $15 at the door. It is a city-run Parks and Recreation event, so the details live on the city's events calendar.

Also Friday: a live band at Galuppi's in Old Town

The night's club option is Private Stock, playing Galuppi's Main Stage at 1103 N Federal Highway in the Old Town area, Friday, October 30 at 7:30 PM, the kickoff show of Galuppi's Halloween weekend. Dinner and a band is a short drive from Palm Aire down the Federal Highway corridor.

Saturday morning: Spooktacular Halloween Brunch at Galuppi's

Halloween morning belongs to the family crowd. Galuppi's runs its Spooktacular Halloween Brunch on Saturday, October 31 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, an all-you-can-eat brunch with a live DJ and kids' activities, with a $50 deposit per reservation through Galuppi's event page. It is the same address as Friday's show, which makes Galuppi's the weekend's busiest single venue.

Saturday night on the beachfront: the Fishing Village closes the street

Halloween night in Pompano is a beachfront night. The Fishing Village throws a Day of the Dead-themed block party on Saturday, October 31 from 5:00 to 11:00 PM, with the street closed for the celebration, organized by the Baresco and Lucky Fish spots in the village. The Fisher Family Pier itself stays open daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, free to walk with paid fishing packages, so the whole strip from the pier to the restaurants is the centerpiece of the evening. Visit Pompano Beach's Halloween guide carries the rundown.

Saturday night at the pier: Nightmare on Pier 6

Just above the block party, Pier 6 Rooftop at 200 N Ocean Boulevard in the Fishing Village hosts Nightmare on Pier 6, a Halloween rooftop party on Saturday, October 31 from 7:00 to 11:00 PM. The lineup is DJ Vince1, spooky entertainment, and a costume contest with a first prize of a two-night stay at Tru by Hilton Pompano Beach Pier, $100 for second, and a $50 Pier 6 credit for third. Tickets run $20 and all sales are final, per the Pier 6 Rooftop happenings page.

Also Saturday night: a free HalloSCREAM, and a Studio-54 band at Galuppi's

Two more Saturday-night options round out the board. HalloSCREAM 2026 is the city's free, all-ages Halloween celebration, Saturday, October 31 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at the McNair Center, 951 NW 27th Avenue, with music, costumes, and thrills; children under five must be accompanied by an adult. And back at Galuppi's, The Original Studio-54 Band plays the Main Stage at 7:30 PM, a Halloween-night disco show.

Sunday night: BOYNEXTDOOR at The Amp, sold out

The big draw of the weekend is BOYNEXTDOOR at the Pompano Beach Amphitheater, 1801 NE 6th Street, on Sunday, November 1. The city's event page lists the show as sold out, and the Pompano Beach Arts Foundation says it sold out in less than three days, so this one is for anyone who already holds a ticket. The venue's official ticketer, AXS, lists doors at 6:30 PM with the show running 7:30 to 9:30 PM; some third-party listings say 8:00 PM, so confirm on AXS before you head over.

The Pomp this week: a sales-office application for the Lennar condos

The Pomp's news this week is a paperwork item with a physical shape. Millrose Properties, the Lennar affiliate that closed a $50 million land buy in January 2026 for 344 condos and 82 townhomes on the site, applied to the Pompano Beach Zoning Board of Appeals for a Major Temporary Use Permit to build a roughly 2,500-square-foot temporary sales center at 777 Isle of Capri Circle, where buyers would be introduced to the planned housing. The public hearing was set for October 15, 2026. Sourced to TAPinto Pompano Beach, October 12, 2026.

The rest of the standing picture, unchanged this week:

Open: Topgolf Pompano Beach (400 Lucky Lane) grand-opened December 2023 with 102 hitting bays and remains the anchor that draws the crowds, and Harrah's Pompano Beach casino operates on site in its renovated form.
Opened this year: the first phase of industrial buildings at The Pomp, four buildings totaling about 620,700 square feet from Rockpoint and Frampton, opened in May 2026.
Under construction: the Live! at The Pomp entertainment district is building, though the plan was scaled back in July 2026 to four buildings and about 170 parking spaces. No opening date has been announced.
Apartments: the 423-unit community on the site, now named Lumio Pompano Beach, was slated for completion around July 2026 with leasing underway since early 2026, per the developer's project page.
In the courts: the proposed Costco at The Pomp remains tied up in litigation, with the City of Pompano Beach filing its response on October 11, 2026 after the Planning and Zoning Board's 4-3 rejection of the roughly 163,000-square-foot store in July 2026.
The master plan: roughly 4,000 residential units, about 1.3 million square feet of retail and entertainment, about 1.4 million square feet of office, and two hotels, built out in phases over several years.

That is the honest picture: the district is opening in pieces, and the pieces that are open are the ones doing the work right now. Nothing here is a forecast, and nothing here should be read as one.

Save the dates: what is coming up

A few verified anchors for the weeks ahead. Old Town Untapped, the free monthly block party with food trucks, craft beer, and live music, returns Friday, November 6 from 6:00 to 10:00 PM at NE 1st Street and N Flagler Avenue, with November's headliner the Shane Duncan Band and docent-led art tours at Bailey Contemporary Arts. The Drone Show Extravaganza follows Saturday, November 7, its fifth year, with about 500 drones over the ocean just south of the Fisher Family Pier, free and family-friendly. The Green Market at the Cultural Center opens its season Saturday, November 14 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, running the second and fourth Saturdays through April, with free lawn yoga at 9:00 AM and kids' crafts from 10:00 AM to noon. And the Pompano Players' Gutenberg! The Musical! runs November 6 through 15 at the Cultural Center as part of the 2026-2027 season.

A quieter option for the weekend: Bailey Contemporary Arts' galleries stay open Saturday 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with Vetiver on view through October 30 and Into Neverland and Experiments & Accidents running through mid-December, while the Everything Esther exhibition opens at Ali Cultural Arts Center on November 5.

The bottom line this weekend.

Halloween night in Pompano belongs to the beachfront: the Day of the Dead street party in the Fishing Village from 5:00 PM, HalloSCREAM in town from 6:00 PM, and Nightmare on Pier 6 from 7:00 PM. Sunday belongs to the sold-out K-pop night at The Amp. And The Pomp keeps its paperwork moving across the street, this week with a sales-office application for the Lennar condos.
